It has become increasingly critical for IT organizations to contract their cloud commitment contracts with public cloud service providers in more a predictable and measurable way. Without the right processes in place, IT's ability to deliver on its cloud consumption commitments can be quickly overextended. WWT's Cloud Marketplace Assessment is a cost-effective way to optimize your software procurement processes.

Public cloud consumption contracts are commonplace for organizations with significant public cloud usage. Each major cloud service provider offers its own Enterprise Agreement and commitment vehicle: Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC), Amazon Web Services Enterprise Discount Program (AWS EDP) or Amazon Web Services Private Pricing Agreement (AWS PPA), and Google Cloud Commit Enterprise Agreement (Google Cloud EA). It's critical to evaluate all factors impacting your ability to meet or exceed your contractual commitments, so you don't undercommit (e.g., miss additional discounts) or overcommit (e.g., pay for unneeded services).
